Chapter 398 Leading the Army to the Hun Tian Demon City!

"boom--"

Inside the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Demon Lord kicked over a table, causing the exquisite utensils on it to scatter all over the floor with a "clanging" sound.

His face was extremely gloomy as he looked down at Yi Sui, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes flashing with barely contained rage.

"you say…"

"The Blood Demons lost?"

"A Thousand Demons Clan of two thousand men lost to the Killing God Clan of only one thousand men, who had not even mastered the Thousand Demons Clan's battle formation?"

"Please calm down, my lord." Yi Sui lowered his head slightly.

"I witnessed the battle firsthand. The Godslayers demonstrated a method that could restrain the True Demons, and thus defeated the Blood Slaughter Demons."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

"A method to restrain a true demon?" The Heavenly Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is it Yu Zhun's method?"

“No, it’s another person who came to the ninth floor at the same time as Yu Zhun, I think his name is Hermod.” Yi Sui quickly said, “Besides, the other three people who came with Yu Zhun also have their own special methods.”

The Heavenly Demon Lord respectfully assumed his new position, gently patting the armrest of his chair with his palm, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes.

"The God of Slaughter's momentum is already established; their advancement to the Thousand Demons is inevitable."

"I sent the Blood Slaughter Demons to deal with them, but it only emboldened them." As he said this, the Heavenly Demon Lord could not hide his anger.

Two thousand people in total!
After this battle, if the Killing God Clan directly devours the two thousand members of the Blood Slaughter Demon Clan, it will instantly expand into a demon horde of three thousand!

Of course, the Heavenly Demon Lord also knew that Yu Zhun was unlikely to do so.

However, the fact remains that the strength of the God of Slaughter has further increased.

This outcome of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead was hard for him to accept.

After a long silence, the Heavenly Demon Lord spoke softly.

"Tell me... what should I do now?"

Yi Sui also fell silent, and after a moment he slowly spoke, "My lord, perhaps we can take advantage of the war against the demons."

"Judging by the time, the Godslayers are about to begin their fourth round of battle against the Demons."

"We can match the God of Slaughter with a powerful enough opponent in the fourth round of the Demon War and annihilate them."

"The Blood Slaughter Demon Clan has been wiped out. How can the other demons be a match for them?" Heavenly Demon Lord said somewhat irritably.

“It’s not that there isn’t any at all.” Yi Sui’s eyes flashed. “The Killing God Clan can now be considered the Thousand Demon Clan.”

"However, in the fourth round of the Demon Battle, they will most likely not be able to master the Thousand Demon Battle Formation, and will have to use the Hundred Demon Battle Formation to fight the enemy, just like this time."

"The matchmaking limit for the Thousand Demons will be significantly reduced."

"A thousand demons can be matched with a maximum of two thousand demons."

"Two thousand can be matched with four thousand."

"So, there just happens to be one demonic group that's perfectly suited to be an opponent of the Godslayers." At this point, Yi Sui paused slightly. "My lord, do you still remember the Remnant Heaven Demonic Group?"

The Heavenly Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Remnant Heaven Demon Clan is located in the Remnant Heaven Demon City, the second largest demon city on the ninth level after the Hun Tian Demon City. This demon clan, named Remnant Heaven, rose to prominence in a very short time, growing from the weakest of the ten demon clans to the thousand demon clans.

And soon he ascended to the throne of the Thousandth Demon.

Currently, the Crippled Heaven Demon Clan has less than three thousand members. If the Killing God Clan absorbs even a few more people, the Crippled Heaven Demon Clan will be able to match them.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Demon Lord couldn't help but feel a little happy.

This plan is feasible!

but…

Thinking back to the last time he was so confident of victory, but the Blood Demon Clan was killed by the God of Slaughter, the Heavenly Demon Lord felt a little uneasy.

After a moment's thought, with a touch of regret, he took out a precious pearl and tossed it to Yi Sui, saying, "Go to the Remnant Heaven Demon City."

"Give it to the Remnant Heaven Demon Clan and tell them that they can only win the next battle."

"This is..." Yi Sui looked at the precious pearl in his hand, his Adam's apple bobbing, and his expression changed slightly. "The Demon-Subduing Pearl?!"

This treasure, called the Demon-Subduing Orb, allows the true demons summoned by the Demon-Slaying Battle Formation to possess greater power for a short period of time, thus elevating the strength of the battle formation to a new level.

The Remnant Heaven Demon Clan was already an incredibly powerful demon clan, and now, with this Demon-Subduing Pearl in hand, it's no exaggeration to say that even the Heavenly Extreme Clan, one of the six great demon clans, would have to put in considerable effort against them.

Using such a treasure against the Godslayers is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

Without hesitation, Yi Sui turned around, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes.

This time, the God of Slaughter is doomed!
It must be said that both the Heavenly Demon Lord and Yi Sui had good ideas, but they failed to consider one possibility.

That means the Godslayers will no longer participate in the war against the demons.

While Yi Sui rushed to the Remnant Heaven Demon City, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Killing Gods, Yu Zhun sat in the Silent Void Demon City, his gaze fixed on the more than two thousand people kneeling on the ground.

These are all the members of the Blood Slaughter Demon Clan. According to the rules among the demons, the one who defeats the opponent can recruit them into his ranks.

嗏

If this is done, the time it takes for the Killing Gods to gain control of the power will be further delayed.

At this moment, the God of Slaughter was like a person who had overeaten; before the previous meal was even digested, the next meal was already upon them.

The extra number of people is actually disadvantageous to them.

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Yu Zhun's eyes.

He calmly looked down at Salo and said in a deep voice, "Answer a few questions first."

“Okay.” Salo’s expression was somewhat wooden.

He was still reeling from the defeat of the Blood Demon Clan, and his expression appeared somewhat dazed.

But he still understands the principle that the victor is king and the loser is villain.

Whether he can survive now rests entirely on Yu Zhun's decision.

“The Blood Slaughter Demon Clan has been embroiled in internal strife for years. Why would they suddenly turn against our Killing God Clan?” Yu Zhun asked in a deep voice. “Also, where are the two vice-leaders of the Blood Slaughter Demon Clan? Why haven’t we seen them?”

As he asked the question, a hint of wariness flashed in Yu Zhun's eyes.

Based on his previous understanding, the internal strife within the Blood Demon Clan was a power struggle between their leader, Salo, and two deputy leaders. But now he only saw Salo; the two deputy leaders were nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that they have some other scheme hidden in the shadows?

“They’re dead,” Salo said calmly. “I killed them both with my own hands.”

"You killed him?" A hint of suspicion flashed in Yu Zhun's eyes.

If Salo truly had the ability to kill both of them, how could he have allowed the Blood Demon Clan to be in turmoil for so many years?
“Yes.” Salo nodded, knowing that Yu Zhun had some doubts, so he directly explained the whole story.

After Saluo finished speaking, Yu Zhun looked enlightened.

But when he thought of Ernst's initial suggestion to befriend the Killers, a strange feeling still welled up in his heart.

If Ernst had actually managed to persuade Salo back then…

Forget it, I don't want to.

Ernst is dead, so none of this matters.

However, he originally wanted to ask which demon lord was behind the trouble, but he unexpectedly got the answer ahead of time.

The Heavenly Demon Lord, huh...?

Yu Zhun couldn't help but think of Yi Sui, who was the first person to approach him and whose words were full of threats after he had firmly rejected him, and then shook his head.

He was originally thinking that after the God of Slaughter group finished their integration, the six major demon groups would decide which one to target.

Since the Heavenly Demon Lord loves to cause trouble so much, let's use the Heavenly Demon Clan as a scapegoat. "There's another problem." Yu Zhun looked at the Blood Slaughter Demon Clan with a deep gaze, "I've heard that your Blood Slaughter Demon Clan is of average strength, but you have a long history."

"I hope the Godslayers can quickly take control of the Thousand Demons' battle formation. Do you have any ideas?"

“This…” Salo pondered for a moment, then nodded. “I do have some ideas about this.”

"But the premise is... that the God of Slaughter will not continue to recruit new members for the time being."

At this point, Salo's eyes flickered.

"Hehe." Yu Zhun shook his head and chuckled. "Since that's the case, I'll be frank. I don't intend to absorb the Blood Demon Slayers."

"Even though you have killed two deputy leaders, the Blood Slaughter Demon Clan is still a mess. Although they are numerous, they are of no use to me."

"So... tell me your solution."

“Great!” Salo’s eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

The fact that the Godslayers don't absorb the blood of the Demon Slayers is perfect for him.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Lord himself said that the Killing God Clan is the enemy of the Six Great Demon Lords, and joining the Killing God Clan means standing on the opposite side of the Six Great Demon Lords.

The Godslayers are indeed strong, but how can they compare to the Six Great Demons?

In his view, this was a path destined to lead to certain death.

"The solution is to break down the Demonic Descent Battle Formation," Salo said quickly. "The Demonic Descent Battle Formation can actually be divided into two formations: one that merges the power of everyone, and the other that summons the true demon."

"The difficulty of the two battle formations increases gradually. The Demonic Descent Battle Formation, which is difficult to master under normal circumstances, can be more than twice as efficient if you master the first sub-battle formation before mastering the second!"

As he spoke, he used demonic energy as a paintbrush to quickly sketch in mid-air how to break down the sub-battle formations and how to accelerate their integration.

Yu Zhun watched with great interest, and then personally led the Killing Gods in a rehearsal. Just as Salo had said, the difficulty had been greatly reduced.

It's like there used to be a large staircase in front of you that you had to step over in one go, but now the large staircase has become two small staircases.

After confirming that Salo's words were true, Yu Zhun smiled with satisfaction.

"very good."

"Now... make your move."

As soon as he finished speaking, the demons of the God of Slaughter simultaneously sprang up and attacked the Blood Slaughter Demons who had been imprisoned without hesitation.

"You!" Salo's expression changed drastically. "You promised to let us go!"

“I only said I wouldn’t absorb the Blood Demon Slayers.” Yu Zhun shook his head slightly, a helpless smile on his face. “You’ve misunderstood.”

Regardless of the reason, the Blood Demons have already made their move against the Godslayers.

If we let them go back to the mountains, who knows if they'll come back again?

Therefore, it's better to be more direct.

The orbs obtained from killing these demons can further enhance the strength of the demons in the Godslayer Clan, so it's not a waste.

Hearing the continuous wails behind him, Salo's expression changed drastically, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he gripped a long spear tightly in his hand as he charged towards Yu Zhun.

"I'll fight you to the death..."

"Pfft-"

Yu Zhun thrust out his dagger, and the world fell silent.

Soon only the members of the Killing Gods remained in the arena.

"Clean up the battlefield and continue to refine the process using the new method." Looking at the eager crowd, Yu Zhun spoke calmly.

"Once we successfully integrate, that will be the day we storm into the Chaotic Demon City."

"The six Demon Lords will be a thing of the past."

As he finished speaking, cheers resounded throughout the arena.

Time passed slowly, and with the new integration method provided by Salo, the integration progress of the Godslayers skyrocketed like a rocket.

In just a few days, Yu Zhun successfully controlled the summoned Thousand Demons True Demons and, after trying it, learned about the True Demon abilities of the God of Slaughter True Demons.

It has to be said that this ability is the most suitable for him.

"By burning true demons, shortening the time it takes for true demons to descend, and unleashing several times the power in a short period of time..." Yu Zhun, who had dispersed the true demons, had a satisfied smile on his face. "With this ability, I am more confident in making a move."

The moment the words fell, an invisible force descended.

That was the clarion call for the upcoming fourth round of the war against the demons.

Yu Zhun raised his head slightly and looked into the distance at a True Demon of the Thousand Demons who was also drawn in and was casting a cold gaze toward him.

Immediately, his smile turned strange.

"The Godslayers, abandon your participation in the war against the Demons."

As he spoke, Yu Zhun produced a stone tablet in his hand.

That was a stone tablet inscribed with the names of the demons when the members of the Gods of Slaughter signed up to participate in the war against the demons.

"You dare?!" A furious shout echoed from the void, filled with rage and bewilderment at the unexpected turn of events.

"The Heavenly Demon Lord, is it?" Yu Zhun smiled slightly. "Don't worry, we'll meet soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhun casually erased the three characters "Killing Gods Clan" from the stone tablet.

The impending pulling force was instantly cleared away.

"Lord Yu Zhun," Zhuo Ge quickly walked to Yu Zhun's side, "I've heard some news."

"The demons we were just matched with were from the Crippled Heaven Demon Clan!"

"This demon is invincible in the Remnant Heaven Demon City; its strength is terrifying."

"The opposing team has nearly three thousand members, but in order to be matched with us, they forcibly reduced the number of demons to two thousand."

"The matchmaking rules for the Thousand Demons are different. The maximum number of opponents that a Thousand Demons can be matched with is two thousand Demons."

"Not only that, the Remnant Heaven Demon Clan also possesses a Demon-Subduing Pearl, which can greatly enhance the power of true demons, allowing the demons' strength to surge to a new level in a short period of time!"

"Just as you predicted, the opponent came prepared for this match!"

"The Heavenly Demon Lord is only capable of this much." Yu Zhun shook his head and chuckled. "If he were capable of taking action himself, he wouldn't need to send the Blood Slaughter Demon Clan to cause us trouble."

"After much thought, with the Blood Slaughter Demon Clan defeated, the Heavenly Demon Lord can only focus on the matchmaking in the Demon Clan War."

“But no matter how much he planned, he would never have imagined that we had no intention of continuing the war against the demons.” Yu Zhun’s eyes turned cold.

"The Demon-Subduing Pearl..."

"This is an unexpected surprise."

"An unexpected surprise?" Zhuoge looked bewildered. "Lord Yu Zhun, why do I not quite understand?"

“This Demon-Subduing Pearl doesn’t sound like something an ordinary demon would have. It’s most likely a gift from the Heavenly Demon Lord.” Yu Zhun smiled.

"If it's given to the Remnant Heaven Demon Clan, then the Heavenly Extreme Clan naturally can't use it."

"This means he has one less trump card in his hand."

"The Heavenly Demon Lord is truly a good person for willingly handing over his trump card."

With a light laugh, Yu Zhun turned to look at the members of the God of Slaughter Clan, "The integration is complete. We have mastered the full power of the True Demons of the Thousand Demon Clan."

"Next, everyone, follow me and we'll set off."

"A war against the demons? Let's head straight for the Chaotic Demon City!"

"Kill him while he's sick."

"Target... the Celestial Clan!"
